Proprietary Probiotic Blend
Combines thirteen different microorganisms known to populate the GI tract of canines, at a combined strength of 1.5 billion CFUs per serving. These microorganisms support colonization of healthy, beneficial bacteria starting in the oral cavity, and continuing through the GI tract. The Bifidobacteria can be found in the oral cavity too, and studies suggest this comes from early exposure of the oral cavity to mother’s milk. Since dental issues in dogs are quite common, specific support of the microbiota of the oral cavity is beneficial.
Together with specific prebiotics MOS and FOS, which can support the growth of Bifidobacteria species - a microorganism that often diminishes in dogs as they age, as well as in dogs who are under stress. MOS has shown to increase nutrient digestibility and stool quality. Both MOS and FOS are cultured from the yeast Saccharomyces cereviae, thus enhancing the formula with the additional yeast element.
Includes also SBOs (soil-based organisms), which are cultured versions of the beneficial fungi and yeasts found in healthy soils.

Specific Medicinal Mushrooms and their benefits:
Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) - A tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s classified as an adaptogen, supporting the body’s healthy stress response. Cordyceps provides immuno-modulating properties, potent antioxidant activity, and supports healthy liver functions.
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) - In many Asian cultures, Turkey Tail represents longevity, health and spiritual attunement. Practitioners recognize its ability to clear dampness, strengthen the lungs, and stomach. In Japan, it is revered for its immune properties and management of cellular inflammation. It is also a rich source of Beta Glucans.
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) - In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this mushroom tonifies blood and qi. It supports the stomach, spleen, lungs, and liver. Due to its neutral nature (is not cooling nor warming to the body system), it is used to build strength and reduce fatigue.
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) - In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lion’s Mane functions as a tonic and regenerative. It supports gut health and intestinal mucosa, as well as aids in normal wound healing. In western medicine, lion’s mane extract has shown to support brain health, memory and mood.
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) - Popular in Japan, this mushroom was used as currency during Japan’s feudal era. It’s traditional use is to tonify the kidneys, increase vitality, maintain balanced blood sugar levels, and support the immune system.
King Trumpet (Pleurotus eryngii) - contains high amounts of ergothioneine, a naturally occurring antioxidant that has a very high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value. Ergothioneine is considered by many researchers to be a master antioxidant due to its own cellular transport mechanism. No other medicinal mushroom contains this level of ergothioneine.
Agaricus (Agaricus subrufescens) - Native to South America, this mushroom can be seen on frescoes and clay fragments from the time of the Aztecs. Called “The Mushroom of God” or “The Sun Mushroom of Aztecs,” its traditional use is for immune support, digestive, and liver support. Agaricus contains digestive enzymes such as amylase, trypsin, maltase, and protease, which assist the body in breaking down protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
